In the United States Circuit Conrt
for the Eastern district of Virginia yes

Hcff came ON before Judge Hughes for
final argument and decision. A decree
was entered distributing the large fund
of about SIS, 900 amongcreditors OF the

the deed-the Chase Manufacturing
Company-were paid in full. All other
creditors were accorded about 90 per
cent. of their respective claims.

summoned for attendance yesterday.
Il was found ON calling over the list
that not sufficient number were in at
tendance to form quorum. An order
was made for the drawing and summon
ing of twelve additional jurors for APP
renrance to-day. No doubt the jury
will be organized for work at to-day's

sfcf NORFOLK BANK CASES.
No cases OF special importance will
come before the jury except those OF
the officers Of the late Exchange Ma
tional Bank of Norfolk. The District
Attorney, Mr.. Gibson, and Mr.. Lyons
feel that IL would be better, since the
late ruling of the Supreme Court of the
United States in one of the cases, to find
new indictments. A few of these would
be barred by the statute of limitations
il the finding of the grand jury were de-
layed until the May term at Norfolk.
in these few cases the present grand
jury will be called upon TO act. All
other cases against the officers OF the
late Norfolk Bank will be submitted to
the grand jury that will be convened at
Norfolk the first week in May.

manure which would otherwise be lost, and
this becomes almost as fertihzing AS the
manure itself. This fact shows that ma
nure loses much in fermentation, for it loses
all the gains. Ii peaty or swaupy earth is
employed, a double object is gained for
while it prevents waste in the manure, it is
of itself converted into manure being COM
posed of vegetable matter, by the process
of fermentation But when the object is
merely to prevent waste in raw manure, the
process is most economically effected in the
soil, where both the gases and liquids will
he retained, aud by which the Transports
ton of the earth to and from the manure
yard is saved When the manure can be
conveniently used upon hoed crops before
fermentation, then bedding and covering
OF earth for the pile is matter of economy
and should not be omitted. so if it is de-
sired to convert the vegetable deposits of
| swamps into manure it may be readily and
proitably done by alternating it in layers
with lot manure. In this case one part of
manure to three parts of swamp earth will
| suffice. layer of manure, five or six feet
broad and as long as necessary, is first de-
posted on a proper piece of ground, then a
| layer of earth over it; and in this way al
ternate layers should be added until the pile
is five or six feet high. AS soon as the mass
gets out of state of fermentation, which
may be ascertained by plunging into it q
stick for a few moments and ascertaining
| thereby its heat, the compost is fit for use
| This viii! require weeks or months, accord
ing TO the temperature of the weather.
II will he perceived that composts in
which no fermentation takes place can be
of little advantage. There is no volatile
matter TO be given Off, and no tendency
exists to break down and render soluble
| igneous and woody matter Lime operates
more powerfully than fresh manure in in
ducing fermentation in vegetable matter,
though it is not prudent to have it in COM
bination with fresh manure from the stable
! or barnyard. Mr.. Poore has found by ex-
perience that it causes too violent action
and disspates nearly all fertilizing proper
| ties. Composts are particularly adapted to
all the family Of small grains and for top
| dressing grass grounds, where this latter
practice is tolerated. Mere earthly matters
add nothing to the compost pile; they merely
prevent waste of other materials which com
pose it. In making composts, therefore, for
field use, earths should be preferred which
abound in vegetable matter, and the litter,
vegetable refuse, soap suds, ashes, etc,
should be added, which are ordinarily
wasted, and which form annually large
aggregate upon farm.

What Makes the South Poor

Daniel bennett, editor of the Agricultural
Danertmert of the New Orleans Ffcoyillc,
in discussing the condition OF farmers,
,,oints ont two causes for their want of
prosperity. The South, he says, is rIch in
resources but poor in purse. She may be
,,icb in purse and be able to develop her vast
resources with her own means. Diversified
farming will probably in time bring these
C,plf States out of the cotton rut and horti-
culture will implRnt a new and more intense
interest in tho cultivation of the soil and
will give a new interest To Southern homes.
More paint, whitewash fruits and flowers
will make homes more attractive and the
farmers and their families more ambitious
and more hopeful and industrious, and the
country more prosperous But the people
must remove two great evils before pros
parity will come.
Let us bring out the quadrant and the
find out where we are, and then examine
the barometer aud see if any storm is brew
ing.
If we remember correctly the Commits
sioner of Agriculture of Georgia estimates
that that State usually spends about $1,000,
GOO annually for Western corn and pork.
That State has ,542 1870 inhabitants Ala
bama. Georgia, Arkansas, Florida Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee
and Texas in 1880 contained about 1907, 1881
inhabitants. If each of these nine States
consumes as much Western corn and pork
as Georgia, according to their population,
il would amount i'll the aggregate to about
$4,000, 900 for the nine States. And this is
perbaps not more than half that these States
purchase from the West and North that
might be produced on Southern farms. And
the Southern farmers are the chief con-
sunlers of these articles purchased from
those States.
Judge Chrisman, OF Lincoln county, Miss
lately stated in a speech made at Brookhaven
that the liquor sold chiefly to the farmers of
Lincoln county at Brookhaven before pro-
hibition cost the consumers annually about
100000 or the market value of about 1900
bales of cotton Liquor consumed in the
same proportion in the nine States would
cost $s4 800, O00 OF the value Of 1856, 900 bales
of cotton. These nine States would con-
sunie according to our estimates, liquors,
corn and pork annually that would cost
them over $120, 100000 If Judge Chris
mans estimates are correct ours are not far
from the truth. Can these nine States
thrive before they have in a great measure
removed these millstones and stumbling
blocks7 Who can answers Who can de-
fond the whisky traffic or say that Southern
farmers can thrive while they are fed by
the farmers of the West and vote in favor
of the whisky traffic! Mississippi has 81
fenced the liquor traffic in about half of the
counties in the State and Georgia has crushed
the monster in about 100 counties and in the
city of Atlanta, and in these States prohi-
bition severely prohibits, and the friends of
progress and reform hold all the forts they
have captured. You can bet on this state
nent.
